How to remove auto complete old contacts

Hi there Mark Delgrosso,

We understand you're seeing old phone numbers when selecting a contact name in Messages.

Do you experience this with every contact, or only with one?

Also, head to Settings > Siri > Messages, and turn off "Show in App" under Suggestions. Does the issue persist?

Thanks!

Mark Delgrosso,

Thanks for sharing those additional details with us.

We're glad to hear you were able to delete those previous phone numbers.

You can then use the steps below from Add and use contact information on iPhone to initiate a new conversation with that contact:

"Quickly reach a contact

To start a message, make a phone call or a FaceTime call, compose an email, or send money with Apple Pay, tap a button below the contact’s name.

To change the default phone number or email address for a contact method, touch and hold the button for that method below the contact’s name, then tap a selection in the list."

Regards.
